Bruce,
Per your request, I am sending a brief list of points from the two Design Review meetings that were held last week. I've
also included the minutes of the meetings for your information.
NorthPointe Apartments— Design Review meeting 10/9/12•
• The meeting was for the residential building; the commercial building and parking structure review to come at
later date.
• Facilitation of pedestrian traffic during construction phase is currently being done and will continue to be in
place throughout this project.
• Attractive visually friendly "urban entrances" on the west street side, with planters, landscaping, and awnings.
• Roof cornices will help to break up the visual line.
• Pedestrian connectivity to the east (Sunrise Apts) continues to be worked on.
• Snow removal —the developer will haul snow away as needed.
The Committee determined this project meets the required Design Standards and felt it will look great.
